I havent seen you since high school, but have thought of you every time I hear Rocky Top. I remember you as kind, fun and funny. Your amazing artwork. Your mural in the dungeon at tc high. Cross country skiing. Snow mobiles. Singing. Laughing. You were a good man who did not deserve this. Prayers of comfort for your family & friends.
We were so saddened to learn of Rick’s untimely passing. Our hearts go out to all. (Uncle) Pete and I will see you all at the service on Saturday.
Much love,
(Aunt) Joanne
Ricky you completely enlightened my life! I’m a better person having you as my Best Friend/Husband. I have a fortune in memories I will hold near and dear to my heart until we are together again! Prayers to Mom, the best mother in law ever. XOXOXO
